Wonderful, high-quality images!

Danke, Herr Lachmann! I LOVE Mydigistock.com. Wonderful, high-quality images. I've tried to contribute pictures but, alas, my camera and my skills are not up to par. I have but one lonely picture that was accepted. Yet that is the reason Mydigistock is worthy of praise - the standards are very high. I tell all my clients about Mydigistock.com; it is my first photo resource.
